Infomate Chief Executive Officer Jehan Perinpanayagam said: “Generating revenue has never been more important as in today’s context. It is therefore critical for business owners and management to zero in on what they do best, whilst employees affected by the pandemic in their personal and professional lives, need to know their HR issues and matters will be handled efficiently and expeditiously. The HR outsourcing model accomplishes all these objectives.” Infomate team has taken on the integral role of being at the forefront in providing strategic, customised HRO services to support companies manage their HR processors as well as in securing the best possible talent for their organisations.
